Yah, it is nice to see it perk up so much. I don't remember where I
read it but thanks for the High School reunion joke. Some jokes stick in
your head and have lasting effect and that was one of them. I have been
so busy since 1997 trying to perfect my trading that I don't have time
to read hardly any of these posts. I think I have read more of these the
last two days than ever before because much is not about trading (ironic
because I believe that most have to teach themselves trading so looking
to others for me just does not work). For me I think it is just a
comfort to know there are other traders out there making a living or
trying and it has been a moral boost seeing the activity in the inbox.
If there are others out there like me that often think they would like
to meet some of the folks on this list and you live in Toronto Canada or
pass trough send an email and maybe we could have a short get together
at a Tim Hortons (A Canadian Coffee/donut chain which seems to have
taken over).
Thanks for coming alive,
John.

Wow this is more traffic than the list has had for years. Like many
perhaps I have monitored 'lurked "since the 90's , my biggest
contribution may have been providing data to some poor soul in need.
Nonetheless I always enjoyed the posts . In years past I traded all
the markets , remember the first electronic attempts at the SP .... i
think they were called "cubs" units on the floor. They took your
money really fast.
Now I only trade 6-8 stocks no data issues same code for the last 8-9
years ..... yeah its kinda boring but I make a living . I hope the O
list doesn't go away , I'll be ok but something would be missing in my
trading world.

IMO, the TS forum is by far the biggest reason. If I have a question
to ask, I ask it there. If something is broken, I report it there. I
suggest enhancements and they respond constructively and have even
implemented some of them. There is free code for people to download.
For the most part, there is no spam. They do run a tight ship in
terms of not allowing talk of competing products.
Remembering some of the exchanges here from days gone by, I think it
is quite a coup by TS. They managed to get the bulk of their dirty
laundry hidden away behind secure walls. (The bulk of the TS forums
are not searchable.) I expect it was a very conscious effort as part
of becoming a public company. But regardless of the intentions, for
my purposes it is a very good forum.
I have looked at Elite a few times, and seems you can't go far there
without finding some horses a@# hurling insults and profanities,
calling someone's mother a name... no thanks. Maybe I just hit them
on a bad day.
Well, and then there is myspace and facebook. :-) Kidding aside,
facebook is actually a pretty neat thing. I've lived all over and
have friends scattered halfway around the world. I have found some
that I likely would never have seen again via facebook. There is more
to life than trading.

Subject: Why is omega list so dead and related questions.
Hi,
I remember when 30+ messages a day was standard for this list back
in 1998 when I was actually using TS 4.0 EOD. Where do the TS
traders hang out now? Is it the Omega Research forum? Is it Elite
trader? And is it not sometimes better to have a list outside of the
company product forum list so other products can be talked about
without censorship? As an example when I was on Qcharts I actually
had mention of MultiCharts removed from one of my esignal/Qcharts
forum threads because the administrator can do this. Is this what
Elite Trader is for?(to eliminate this censorship).
John.
